(F)art gallery

We all went to the art gallery to see the Ron Mueck show today. We went early, cos the Feeb had a sleepover date with one of her mates this evening and we wanted to be able to wash our hands of her nice and early! It was a good job we did because even though there was hardly a queue when we arrived, there were far too many people there for my liking, and as we left, there were really really long queues going in. You often couldn't really get all that close to the pieces, but we could if we waited, squeeze close enough to marvel at their intricacies and brilliant execution. The Feeb was especially interested in the uncovered male tackle in the sculpts.. and was happily snapping away with Daile's camera.



You can understand that she's curious about that stuff, and as a young kid, hasn't learned to be subtle about it... but then she snapped this one whilst I lifted her up to see the contents of this boat. Check out the sneaky glance from the woman in purple...ha ha.



There were of course, lots of serious punters trying to look knowledgeable and there were even guided parties! The guides were so full of hot air! We tried to look at the exhibits before or after they arrived with their cohorts. If ever there were art that didn't need any explanation, this must surely be it! Having said that, the best bit was the movie that you could see of how he made the pregnant woman. Fascinating.

Anyway, we left and had a bite to eat before heading back. When we got into the car, I had to make this little movie in dedication to the wisdom of the tour guides! (Turn up the sound)



Good eh?
